The special case ("特殊性") of far right-wing Moritomo Gakuen 森友学園 in
Japan is an outrage, paying virtually nothing to secure valuable public
land.
Until any politician(s) involved is incriminated, the bureaucrats who approved the transfer should be held responsible: jailed for corruption & gross misconduct.
[ Update - 13 March ]
Now the head of the National Tax Agency has resigned; a Ministry of Finance official involved in the case committed suicide (7 March); Mainichi reports the Board of Audit is implicated (12 March); and Japan's Finance Ministry admits illegally manipulating documents (12 March).
Surely the corruption goes further than Japan's bureaucracy - how long will the bureaucrats burn while top politicos simply watch?
